Rachel Armstrong/Amy Matthews

[DinerLandlord]

I used to really love Rachel, I wish her storylines would improve though. I think she was one of the best characters of 2007, but I've gone off her since she started seeing Tony. Hopefully I'll start liking her again soon.

Rachel dissapoints me as soon as she gets into a relationship, I like the lead-up to the relationship esp with Tony, was really willing them on, but as soon as she gets the man she seems to change overnight and its like she gets really whiny or clingy, I'd really like to see some back-fill episodes where she really confronts her demons from the past, there's so much they could do with her character and she's so likeable and easy to watch, I also love that she's not stick thin and blonde, I think she's really attractive and would love to see her really happy and becoming a real main character again.

You're very welcome!!

JoJo I agree with you. Unfortunately whenever certain characters get into a relationship, the scriptwriters have trouble thinking of storylines for them so just end up creating continuous relationship problems. Amy's a very talented actress, they should be utilizing her talent, giving her some fun stuff to do. Even if they create a storyline which is not so happy, such as a demon from her past, they can use the opportunity to develop Tony and Rachel's relationship as he can support her threw it, give them something good to work with. Unfortunately, as Rachel is a doctor, a lot of her scenes sometimes become background scenes as she treats all the members of the Bay and this doesn't give Rachel many storylines of her own and subsequently no Rachel/Tony storylines.

I think they'd both be a good couple to use to go back to the shows adoption route, they're both long term characters, stable and love kids. Although I guess the danger in that is they then become background to all the kids storylines! They're both too good actors for that.

new spoilers suggest tachel are in for a rocky ride

I really love Rachel. During that whole storyline with Kim and Kit, I was completely on her side. I felt she made the best of a very bad situation and she tried her hardest to be supportive. And I like Tachel, but for once I would like to see Rachel be given a storyline that does not involve a relationship and her wanting her baby. And I certainly don't mean yet another stalker. The problem with Rachels character is that they have written her in a way that she is not all that interesting or funny when she is alone like someone like Jazz. I really hope the writers start to realise that and change it. She doesn't even need to be given a storyline at all, it would be so nice to see her just hanging out friends having fun. I would have thought with Charlie now living with Leah, and supposedly Leah and Rachel are best friends we could get to see the three of them hanging out together. I think the writers are missing out on a great opportunity by not not seeing the potenetial those three have for becoming great friends. Right now her scenes with Aden are the only ones interesting me, and I hope that changes soon because I really like her.

yeah she should get better storylines and people may like her more

[defying_gravity]

i think that amy is the best actress on home and away but her character doesnt have as much depth to it anymore since shes been with tony...shes amazing when shes given a big storyline and i think the writers should give her more to work with

Love Tachel when it began and still enjoy them, but lately it seems like their relationship is just there to cause some extra drama and for Tony to have someone to confide. And Amy deserves so much better than that because right now she is one of the better actors on the show.

[jack+martha=trooluvv]

Rachel is the only one on the show who doesn't make me feel like an ugly-oramous that should be in a museum somewhere!!

Apart from Sally. I loved how she was just healthy. Not incredibly skinny, not podgy. Just a healthy, fit person.

I think Amy is a brilliant actress, and though Tachel is a wonderful couple I am sick of all the melodrama that they have to go through now......Neither Jon nor Amy deserve that, they aren't Jack & Martha or Aden & Belle and they shouldn't be treated like that.
